It was sad day for me and for my batch mates in NCR. Stephene has resigned and had his last day at the office. We were eleven when we started in NCR last February 15, 2006. And now we are down to ten. It was Wesley who left us first and now Stephene. Wesley and Stephene are my closest friends among my batch mates, so I was somehow affected when Stephene left the company. But I feel happy for both of them because I know that their decisions are for their own good.
Remembering the days, Wesley, Stephene and I usually ate breakfasts, lunch and snacks together. Looking back, I found it funny that we will be eating pancit canton noodles for breakfast during tingbitays.
Every breakfast, we will be listening to Wesley’s adventures and misfortunes in life especially with his relationship with his brother-in-law who is living with him in their house.
I also remember that every Thursday, Stephene and I will ask Wesley to bring some DVD movies for us to borrow for the weekend.
And together with Wesley and Stephene, we started the concept of online excel Kainan Carenderia Ordering in cooperation with Manang’s eatery at Apas.
After more than five months, Wesley left us for some reasons and less than a year after we got hired in NCR, Stephene resigned.
Time is so fast for me that in a blink of an eye, two of my closest friends are not in my side anymore. Two of my breakfast buddies are not going to eat breakfast with me again.
I guess an old quote is right that “You don’t miss the water until the well runs dry.”
